Improve Your Dog's Temperament Through Training


by Fabiola Borsellino

Do not let your dog decide where you go for a walk. Remember to keep your dog well-behaved when you go for walks. This guide will give you the right guidelines that will help you train your dog effectively and efficiently.

It is possible to designate a specific indoor area for elimination, as well. Get some potty pads placed in that area, and over time remove one after another until there is one left. This will help train the dog to go in that one specific locale.

Training success means scheduling training every single day consistently. Repetition is key, which takes a lot of time and effort. Spending time consistently with your dog lets him know he can depend and rely upon you. These are two qualities that will work to make you the leader of the pack!

A good training tip is to be aware of the special grooming needs of your dog's breed. Attention to your dogs grooming needs, whether it's a weekly thing, as some breeds require or less frequently, gives you time to build a good relationship with your dog. Grooming accomplishes many things for your dog, including happiness, cleanliness and protection from diseases.

Avoid training devices which are high end such as shock collars. They almost never work as advertised and they are expensive to boot. In addition, shock collars and some similar items can actually discourage your dog from practicing good behavior. It is common for these tactics to create adverse behavior.

So, you do not have accidents inside; find out what your dog's signals are. Most dogs go through a serious of behaviors when they need to go to the bathroom. When you learn to recognize this behavior pattern and take him outside right away, you will teach him the right way to behave. House training will be so much simpler if you can be sensitive to your dog's needs.

Don't vocalize your dog's name negatively. This will cause the dog to associate their name with a positive attitude and good behavior. For this reason, avoid using names when upset or as punishment.

Treats are necessary when teaching a dog fancy tricks like rolling over. Initially, try to get your dog to lay on the floor. Then hold the treat at the side of the dog's head and move it around it's face to the other side. His nose will follow the treat, naturally making him roll over. When he rolls over, you should say "roll over," and repeat the process until the command is all he needs to do so. Put your frustration aside and he'll be performing this trick all over the place in no time.

A great dog training tip is to always use your dog's name in a positive manner. This will help your dog associate good behavior with his name. Thus, it is good not to use the dog's name in negative ways.

Every dog responds differently to different types of training models. Sometimes, treats will not work, so you will have to find another way to train them. When you find a reward that works, stick with it.

Don't freak out when your dog is being hyperactive. With patience and the correct techniques, you should be able to train your dog. Use these tips to ease training efforts and boost your dog's results.
